Rhode Island Governor Prioritizes Marriage Equality

Over the weekend, Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee came out in support of marriage equality as not only a civil rights issue, but also an economic imperative, in an editorial for Providence Journal.

“For everyone in my administration, one of our top priorities is to wake up every day and work to create a climate that will promote economic development, attract the businesses of the future, and produce jobs for our state,” he stated in the op-ed.
